On Sunday, June 11, MLB teams hit the 60-game mark. (Actually, 12 of the 30 teams hit the 60-game mark; two were at 58, six at 59, eight at 61 and two at 62.)
Sixty games is a sizable chunk of the season, so it seems as good a time as any to review current batters and to use BaseballHQ.com skills and luck metrics to identify possible over-and underperformers.
Batting Average: xBA Overperformers
To begin, we looked at all batters with more than 75 AB YTD, to find those whose BA are well ahead of xBA, indicating a possible correction.
